Summary

A purrfect crime!

Dame Cecile Savoy's "revolting floor mop" of a Pekinese has passed away at a ripe old age. Now, the aging British actress convinces her rivals on stage and screen, Trixie and Evangeline, to support her in her hour of grief...by accompanying her to a taxidermist. But it's a cab ride straight to a cat-astrope!

No sooner do the three elderly thespians enter "Stuff Yours" than they discover a dead body, a live kitty in a cage, and flames bursting from the back room. Fortunately for a rare Japanese bobtail called Cho-Cho-San, Trixie grabs the cat before fleeing the scene. But who's the victim? Who set the fire? And why was a gorgeous feline going to be stuffed?

Of course, Cho-Cho-San knows more than she's letting on as the curtain goes up on foul play, murderous jealousies, and a killer who may be going to the dogs....

A rather curious story about older actors, revenge, and who really knows what else. I finished it because it wasn't annoying, but I can't say I enjoyed it, it really was odd.

Not a dog

Sadly this book is not as good as the first 3 in this series, not available on Audible. I was annoyed at not being able to start with the first book, but it doesn’t matter now as I am returning this book.

Trixie and Evangeline are elderly (but spry) and snarky American actresses. They have lived in England for a year or so, but would still have American accents, especially Evangeline. The narrator has given the two main characters soft English accents, and I had to stop listening before the end of the first chapter. I am returning the audiobook, before I hear these accents when I read the earlier books.

Evangeline is American, not English
